Hi, further down from the problem I asked about yesterday I encounter the following problem (please appologize for the lengthy mail - I have not found a brief example making the issue clear): - using R packages making use of namespaces & - S4 classes when using --with-package-versions in the install call: Pkgs install ok and the first pkg 'base' can be loaded in R

Dear friends, when i use glm() to fit my data, i use glm(formula = snail ~ vegtype + mhveg + humidity + elevation + soiltem, *family = Gamma(link = inverse),* data =a,)) It shows: error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : *gamma distribution don't allow negative value*. But i use result<-glm(formula = snail ~ vegtype + mhveg + humidity + elevation + soiltem, family = poisson, data =a) #this

Dear list, I have got an array with observational values t and I would like to fit a geometric distribution to it. As I understand the geometric distribution, there is only one parameter, the probability p. I estimated it by 1/mean(t). Now I plotted the estimated density function by plot(ecdf(t),do.points=FALSE,col.h="blue"); and I would like to add the geometric distribution. This

A statistical question, not specific to R. I'm asking for a pointer for a source of definitive descriptions of what types of data are best summarized by the arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means. As an aquatic ecologist I see regulators apply the geometric mean to geochemical concentrations rather than using the arithmetic mean. I want to know whether the geometric mean of a set of

?Dear All I have some data expressed in geometric means and 95% confidence intervals. Can I code them in metafor as: rma(m1i=geometric mean 1, m2i=geometric mean 2, sd1i=geometric mean 1 CI /3.92, sd2i=geometric mean 2 CI/3.92.......etc, measure="MD") All of the studies use geometric means.

Does anyone know how to approach R code for the MLE of a geom. distribution? thanks! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I'm writng this message to see if anyone knows how to analyze a data with geometrically distributed outcome. My situation now is : I have a outcome which is geometrically distributed. And I've also self-derived the link function for geometric distribution. I want to use generalized linear models to analyze it, but there're only models for binary data, poisson distributed

Hi, I have been using maxLik to do some MLE of Geometric Brownian Motion Process and everything has been going fine, but know I have tried to do it with jumps. I have create a vector of jumps and then added this into my log-likelihood equation, know I am getting a message: NA in the initial gradient My codes is hear # n<-length(combinedlr) j<-c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)

Hello, Can anyone think of a non-iterative way to generate a decreasing geometric sequence in R? For example, for a hypothetical function dg, I would like: > dg(20) [1] 20 10 5 2 1 where I am using integer division by 2 to get each subsequent value in the sequence. There is of course: dg <- function(x) { res <- integer() while(x >= 1) { res <- c(res, x) x

Dear Rich, It depends how the data is generated. Although I am not an expert in ecology, I can explain it based on a biomedical example. Certain variables are generated geometrically (exponentially), e.g. MIC or Titer. MIC = Minimum Inhibitory Concentration for bacterial resistance Titer = dilution which still has an effect, e.g. serially diluting blood samples; Obviously, diluting the

ubuntu 8.1 Nvidia 9600GT. Installed BF2 with no problems. Go to run it- first screen comes up, screen blinks, reverts to desktop, changing resolution from 1440x900 to 800x600. so basically it wont even start Ive already tried everything i found in previous forums and appdb (i think ive tried it all) Ive changed the video.con file to read 1024x768 at 60 in the appropiate file. Ive tried

Is there a function or an easier way to computer geometric means of each rows in a nxn matrix and spit out in an 1xn matrix ? -- Edward Chen [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, This is my first time posting to the mailing list, so if I'm doing something wrong, just let me know. I've taken ~1000 samples from 8 biological replicates, and I want to somehow combine the density functions of the replicates. Currently, I can plot the density function for each biological replicate, and I'd like to see how pool of replicates compares to a simulation I conducted

Hii, I will create boxplots from matrices. I have the following data sets: 5.0 1.78 2.99 2.019 0 10.0 1.79 3.00 1.744 0 15.0 1.78 2.98 1.936 0 20.0 1.78 2.99 1.975 0 25.0 1.73 2.91 3.591 0 30.0 1.79 3.00 1.966 0 35.0 1.79 3.00 2.451 0 40.0 1.79 3.00

I want to make a function for geometric seqeunce since testing=function(x){i=1;ans=1;while(true){ans=ans+(1/x)^i ; i=i+1} ;return(ans)} doesn't work... the program is freeze... from my research, i know i should use iterators. I read iterators.pdf at http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/iterators/iterators.pdf and didnt find it helps solving my problem at all... Is there any sources I

Dear Listers, I have a general statistical question. Are hurdle logit-poisson model and posson model nested? Thank you so much?

Dear R users, My question is that how it is possible to generate some random numbers using rnorm( ) function but in log transformed values. Thank you, Tobias --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to embed R code in a C++ file. I am actually using a mac running on the OSX 10.6.2 and the IDE Xcode Version 3.2 and I would like to embed the basic function like geometric, binomial, normal and hyper geometric distributions in a sample cpp file. I heard about the library RInside and i have downloaded the source code for mac but i do not know how to build it in
